 * I need to have fixed sidebars (not sidebars from WordPress point of view – just
   columns with fixed width from left and right).
    Ok, let’s start from 3 columns
   percentages: 10% 80% 10% Seems good except 1st and 3rd resizing. Now it looks
   like:
 *     ```
       --|----------------|---
       ```
   
 * Ok, apply the styles to 1st and 3rd columns:
 *     ```
       .left-sidebar {
         margin-left: 0px;
         width: 120px;
       }
       .right-sidebar {
         margin-right: 0px;
         width: 120px;
       }
       ```
   
 * Layout before:
 *     ```
       --|----------------|---
       ```
   
 * After styling:
 *     ```
       -|----------------|-
       ```
   
 * What’s happened – 1st and 3rd columns become narrower, but 2nd has width calculated
   before and overall columns don’t occupy all screen width.
    So, how to tell to
   2nd column? – “please occupy all the rest between 1st and 3rd columns”. Same 
   as for HTML tables – “width: *’ – fill all.
